  • Lay the pork belly bites in the basket of your air fryer in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.

Notes

  • Cut the pork belly into evenly sized cubes for the best texture and even cooking.
  • Don’t crowd the air fryer basket; work in batches if you need to so each piece has room to crisp up.
  • Flip the bites halfway through cooking for that perfect golden color on all sides.
